<p>Your test scores are only part of your admission profile, same with your leadership, extracurriculars and gpa. I would say that the essay is the most important part. The essay is one thing that will identify you and show your uniqueness. There are a thousand kids applying that on paper are very similar to you, your essay can set you apart.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about your test scores and gpa too much. I had your same SAT score and a 3.95 gpa and I got accepted to wellesley. But, I know it was my essay that set me apart. I wrote mine on the relationship between the Rhino and the tick bird (yes, i know its bizarre) but those are the types of things admissions officers remember because they read soooooo many.</p>
